It was five years ago this week that Favre signed with the Vikings and everything went completely nuts. Even though he threw that soul-crushing interception against the cheater Saints, it was a lot of fun following the team that year.

i watched it and saw lots of good from RG3, but also a few down moments. i gave him a B- for his game. he gets an A for about 6 of his passes, but he gets an F for his pathetic interception and a D for his runs.

As for Manziel, he gets a D and Hoyer get a D-. Manziel did drive the team (vs. the backups), but looked shaky vs. a team who CLEARLY knew how to stop him (thank RG3 for that) and Hoyer had the job in his hands and tried to just gift wrap it for Manziel. so that’s why i gave him a worse grade.

“Hey Johnny I need you to go towards the Redskins sidelines and do something that’s going to make you the number one target for every defender in the league. But here’s the catch, it also has to dissuade companies from giving you endorsements.”

Are you kidding! This was horrible football and all the QB’s (Manziel, Hoyer, RGIII and Cousins) all stunk. The only thing this game was good for was the Connor Shaw Audition- he might get picked up by another Team after he is cut. He has the same skill-sets as Johnny Football without all the Hype. An undersized, under achiever with great desire to extend plays and find a way to win. If he can be groomed by a patient team with a Veteran QB; he might blossom in a few years. I for one would like to withdraw my Viewership from the ESPN Tally on the grounds that I was embarrassed. I only wish these Teams were on the Dolphins Schedule. We need all the Wins we can get.

THE, worst, horrible football game in the history of the sport. Manziel looked like a cow on ice skates, RG3, or as IMus calls him,,RJ3 looked as lost as Manziel but this is his third yr and the guy still won’t slide. What a crock,,,,,turned it off before half time.

I cannot believe it was five years ago that Favre signed with the Vikings. I have to admit that it must have been very exciting for the ex-hero of your greatest nemesis to nearly lead the Vikings to a Super Bowl berth and a (likely) SuperBowl victory. Shakespearean drama at it’s best. I agree it must have been a lot of fun.

But…you have to know…there isn’t a Packer fan within 1000 miles that did not predict a boneheaded grasp of defeat from the jaws of victory by that guy. As fun as he was to watch for all those years, he was not the sharpest crayon in the box. We love him, and we’ll welcome him to the Packer Hall of Fame (which, if you haven’t seen it, is pretty damn impressive,) soon. He surprised and disappointed you, I know. He didn’t surprise us.
